On 21 September 2026, the automated heat exchanger plate stamping line at Nexson’s Beijing factory went into official operation, with a new 20,000-ton press entering service at the same time — a milestone for the company in core component manufacturing. Plate stamping, welding and inspection are now automated end to end.
With the new line, the Beijing factory has raised production efficiency further, standardised quality management and stabilised delivery lead times, giving a firmer guarantee on both the performance and the delivery of complete heat exchange equipment.
On site: first plate formed in a single stroke
The commissioning ceremony for the line and the new 20,000-ton press was held in the production workshop that morning. Mr. Fang Minhua, General Manager of the company, and Mr. Thomas Croizean, Global Sales Director of Nexson Group, attended and witnessed the moment together with all staff of the Beijing factory and the Beijing office.
After the speeches, the themed banners “Collaboration Builds the Foundation of Manufacturing” and “Precision Craft Refines the Core of Heat Transfer” were unfurled.
At 8:58, on the start command, the robotic arm loaded the sheet automatically, the 20,000-ton press formed the first plate in a single stroke, and the arm removed the finished part — the whole sequence running smoothly and steadily. Mr. Fang Minhua said on site that commissioning this line is a landmark node in building the Beijing factory’s manufacturing system, further completing the company’s core component production chain and significantly improving controllability of both product quality and delivery lead time.
Full-process automation: customer value and global footprint
Working alongside a mature automated welding line and a high-precision visual inspection system, the new line makes plate production data traceable and quality controllable, securing product precision, stability, consistency and yield on every front. Stronger capability in core component manufacturing also underpins product quality, lead time and supply stability, so customers can rely on Nexson’s supply capacity with confidence.
Mr. Thomas Croizean said that this comprehensive upgrade of plate production capacity is a key move in the group’s global smart manufacturing strategy and further strengthens the group’s delivery capability in Asia-Pacific.
Moving forward together: a new journey begins
From equipment arrival and installation through commissioning to line build-up, the project team worked together efficiently and advanced steadily to make sure the line landed on schedule. Mr. Fang Minhua expressed sincere thanks to the team for their effort. After the ceremony, those present toured the new line and posed for a group photograph — a warm atmosphere capturing an important moment, fixed in joy and expectation.
Going forward, Nexson will take this capacity upgrade as a fresh starting point, keep refining manufacturing processes and delivery quality, and continue improving the production system — creating value for customers worldwide with more stable capacity, better products and more efficient delivery, and supporting the brand’s high-quality global development.
